Wednesday, August 31, 2016 (All day)

This summer, Cazenovia College professor of interior design, Elizabeth Moore volunteered at CazCares' Literacy Room in Cazenovia, NY. CazCares serves low income residents of the Cazenovia School District and surrounding areas of Madison County. Each month over 200 clients visit CazCares to receive food and clothing and to attend educational programs. The Literacy Room, an extension of the Cazenovia Public Library, is staffed by two reading specialists.

"Over the summer, I offered art activities to school age children during the time slot when their parents were selecting food and clothing from the give-away pantries," commented Moore. "One of the activities that we worked on was a color theory project that I created."

Cazenovia College students and administration have a strong connection with CazCares, as they have many opportunities for volunteers, interns, and classroom visits. The local organization welcomes those from the College community with open arms and is thankful for their generosity.

CazCares relies on generous community support in order to operate. Volunteer workers are tasked with a variety of activities such as filling food orders, stocking pantry shelves, sorting clothes, teaching children, and much more.
